This club is too stuffy and stuck in the past, sadly missing the chance to encourage new members, expensive to join but course condition is very high standard but a bit clinical and predictable. Club is dominated by retired golfers who seem to spend their time looking for a reason to complain, new members do not feel welcome. If you are retired and can afford it then may suit you, if you are a weekend golfer save your money and look elsewhere as there are better clubs with a warm welcome

Was a member here for nearly a year and felt very unwelcome. With the joining fee and membership fees this is a very expensive club and for a weekend golfer far too pricey.The average age here seems to be retired 65+ and the club fixtures reflects this so getting a casual game at the weekend is tough and sometimes impossible. Facilities and course are excellent but as a balanced feel to enjoyment, warm welcome,and embracing new golfers i would say they are lacking big time.
The club has some very excellent course marshalls, good pro shop, good good teaching facilities. The course is kept to a very high standard but is slightly dull and not very rewarding, if you are looking for variation this place hasnt much to offer, it does have loads of bunkers will poor quality sand, too little sand and slow play most of the time
Hope this helps anybody considering parting with large sums of money.

Good, challenging course for a high handicapper - the trees close to nearly all the fairways makes up for the lack of water. Generally friendly membership, although the number of people on the course on a warm Saturday lunchtime led to few frayed tempers - not least from a member who rather agressively berated us for "holding up the whole course" despite the fact that we were right behind the four-ball in front of us and hadn't see the four behind us for the last three holes. Disappointing, particularly as the member in question was about five holes behind us and really had no idea how quickly or slowly we were playing - I guess he was just venting his frustration. Otherwise the round was spot on and I would definitely play the course again.

Albeit a short course with no par 5,s it is still a good test and can only improve ones short game. The 6th is probably the signature hole being 440 yard par 4

testing 9 hole
Course overall is in good condition although as is the time of year there are a number of leafs about. Tee boxes in good condition and the greens are of average pace and true. For what the club charges this is a good course and can help improve anybody's short game. Signature hole is the par 4 440 yard 6(Round played: Oct 2021 - Score: 78 Handicap: 15.7)

Went to play with a friend on the 9-hole. Good tough 9, plenty of variance in length and difficulty. Good speed and well laid out.(Round played: Oct 2021 - Score: 55 Handicap: )

Little Gem
9 hole course open to non members, green fee available in advance for either 9 or 18 holes.Present a challenge even for low handicap golfers. Attached to the members only 18 hole but you can use bar and toilets plus eat if you want. Handily placed just 3 minutes off A14(Round played: Jul 2020 - Score: 76 Handicap: 16.4)

Lovely
Really enjoyed my game at BSE.The course layout was great fun - back 9 is definitely tougher with a challenging finish.
The course is tree lined but quite forgiving in places. The real defense is the length and greens - which by the way were fantastic to putt on.
Really enjoyable and players of all abilities should go and have a game here.

Perfect for after work, bit only Par 31 (9 holes)
Could do with markers showing centre fairway on couple of holes.
Large number of bunkers are GUR.
